|Chapter 2|
I looked at Scarlet and then looked at the hazel eyed guy.
"I'm leaving. You can fight and die or whatever, I don't care." I said.
I looked at him once again, waiting for his comeback but he was just silent and was still looking at the other guy with anger.
Strange.
I went outside and sat in the car. I looked at my dad who was silent beside me.
And we all know what happens when parents are "silent".
The wind before the storm.
I sighed. Not that I was scared, it was recurrent, I'm always doing some shit and he's always angry. But I'm just done with all the drama.
Soon we reached at our palace or should I say my "dad's palace".
He stepped out and went directly inside. I entered inside too and saw his whole army of employees in black suits standing there including-
Including Jason Michaelson and his family.
"Welcome back, Veronica. Care to tell what's wrong with your mind?" My dad, the beloved Steven Denver asked.
That's dad. He is always straight forward and never wastes time in anything.
"I wanted to have fun." Well, ain't I his daughter only? Straight forward and shit.
"Yeah I know that. Well, I'm not even going to talk about it because you'll eventually have to stop all this and you will." He said with a calm voice.
Huh? What?
"Are you sure about that?" Jason asked getting a little irritated.
Dad looks at him and nods.
"Hold on, what's happening?" I finally asked.
"Mexico is happening."
"What?" I asked again.
My dad sighed and looked at me. He looked at me with soft eyes.
"Veronica, look, I know you're against my decisions most of the time but this decision of mine was very necessary. I can't help it, it's needed." He said a bit softly.
"Wait, what is necessary?"
"Mexico. I'm sending you to Mexico for your college." He said.
WHAT?
"Mexico?" I was shocked. My dad, who hates to send me anywhere, is sending me to Mexico?
"Yes. The Theodores said that they got the link of an illegal deal we are into and now they challenged war." My dad informed.
Oh did I tell who the Theodores were?
William Theodore is my dad's enemy in mafia business. He's always on the second while my dad rules the business at the top.
"So you're sending me to Mexico because here it's danger?" I asked.
"Yes."
"ALONE?" I asked being excited.
Because I knew, he needed all his so-called "soldiers" with him to fight, so how would he send me with his people?
"Obviously not. You're stupid enough to think I'll send you alone." He said.
"Oh, bodyguards." I rolled my eyes.
"No, only a bodyguard." I heard a voice from my back. I sighed. I almost hate that voice.
Victor Denver, my great elder brother.
Why do I hate him? The reasons:
- He's a dick.
- He's a dick.
- He's a dick.
- He's a dick.
And the list goes one. But on a serious note, he is my dad's left hand and his spoon. He does everything that he says. And that's what is irritating. My dad kinda is too strict with me and I don't have a saviour in my life except for myself.
And he isn't a supporting brother, at all. That's the reason we don't bond. We really dislike each other. Dad's right hand is Jason. I guess, he trusts Jason more than Victor. And this trio? It's deadly. Include Jason's dad too. They all are too dangerous and........ Monsters.
Good thing mom isn't here to see all this shit. God really know how to protect the good people by taking them.
"A bodyguard?" I asked, getting out of my thoughts.
"If no one would know how and where you're going, then you're completely safe. You'll be far away and it won't be a problem. Of course, I have back up, if anything would happen, my people would come there instantly but for now, you'll go only with one bodyguard, privately in a jet." He told me.
"And who is that bodyguard?" I asked.
"Logan Lockhart. He would be your personal bodyguard."
Logan Lockhart? Sounds sexy.
At least I'll be away from Dad and Victor and Jason and all this illegal mafia shit, living a normal life without thousands of bodyguards around me.
-----------------
"Are you fucking serious?" I asked looking at my dad unbelievably.
"Language!" He glared at me.
I rolled my eyes.
"Dad? What's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with me? Everything is wrong with you. You do all the shit in the world and then I've to clean up. That's why I'm saying this." He said.
"But you can't expect me to just stay at the house there for like always. I need to go out, I'll go mad if I don't." I said being pissed.
"Veronica, enough. Don't make me repeat my words okay? You know I don't like that." He said getting a little angry.
"Do not think you got your complete freedom, Veronica. No fun, no damn bad things, no boyfriends in Mexico. You're still marrying Jason, so that I can accomplish more in my business. Logan will go with you, in your college as a student to make sure you're not doing any rubbish stuffs which includes being with boys and also to make sure you're safe. Remember, "This is not your freedom."
"Stress on the boy part. We all know how much of a play girl you are." Victor said, standing beside dad, with a smirk.
"At least a play girl is better than a fucking monster who kill people to live." I said bluntly, breaking his smirk.
"Veronica? Shut up. Just do what you're told to do and I won't interrupt in your life." My dad said a little loudly.
"Whatever." I said while shrugging.
"Go and get your bag from the room, Logan is here."
I nodded and went to my room to get my bag.
I remembered about Jason suddenly. Wasn't he gonna come and bid me bye? Doesn't this affect him even a bit? To who was I joking, of course he doesn't care. I subsided those thoughts and picked my bag.
I then started coming downstairs only to see dad talking to someone addressing "Logan".
I could see his back.
"You're the only person apart from Jason and Victor whom I trust the most. You've earned my Loyalty, Logan. So I trust you with her, keep my daughter safe." My dad said while I came down which gave me a clearer picture of the bodyguard.
The egoistic guy from the bar.
The beautiful hazel eyed guy.
"YOU?" I shouted.
He looked at me listening to my shout. I thought he would be shocked too but he wasn't. He was normal.
"What happened Veronica?" Dad asked.
"Dad what is he doing here? Do you know, yesterday night in the bar-"
"Yes, the bar. He was the one who found you finally, after 4 hours. I'm so thankful to him. Without him, it wasn't possible to find you at all." He said while glaring at me.
"What- he was in the bar for me?" I asked feeling ridiculous.
"Yes. I hired him for you a month ago. So sad, you didn't even notice. He has been looking for you from a month. He has saved you so many times without your knowledge. That's the reason why I trust him so much, trust him enough to send you alone with him. " He informed me.
"WHAT?" I asked in shock.
A month? Why did I never notice?
Wait-
SHIT.
He saw me kissing a guy in the bar last night. He has seen me hanging out and hooking up with so many people in the past one month.
Has he never told dad about it? Why won't he? And what if he would tell now? And then what if my dad cancels this whole Mexico plan? Oh my-
I looked at Logan, thinking all this. And to my shock, he was already looking at me with a look, as if he was reading my mind and knew what I was thinking.
I was still in shock thinking all this.
"Okay Veronica, remember what all I said. Be in contact with me and Jason. And don't make Logan mad. He is a sincere bodyguard and a genuine one, he won't trouble you at all." He said while I could see a knowing smirk on Logan's face.
He won't trouble me? Oh dear dad.
Dad hugged me and I bid bye. I turned around to look for Jason, but to my disappointment, he didn't even come to see me for the last time. I sighed and was about to leave when I heard a whisper near my ear.
"Ready to have some fun, babe?"
AUTHOR'S NOTE
Hey guys! Hope you're all doing good.
So, finally Logan Lockhart is revealed.
What's your opinion on him?
Also, now from next chapter, their story begins. They'll be "all alone". I know there were no as such Jason scenes but as I mentioned in the trailer's note that for now, it will be just focused on Veronica and Logan. But later, there will be hell many scenes of Jason.
And I also changed the place front California to Mexico due to some reasons.
So excited to see what happens in Mexico?
